What are you doing right now?

Dreading losing the my Pacifica company car since it has about 171k miles and needs about $2 worth of work in favor a an option-less dodge caravan. The only upside is it is still a company car and doesn't cost me anything.

I feel your pain! Lost my '05 F150 2wd extended cab with 198,000 on the odo (and still running well) for a 2010 Toyota 2wd Tacoma pickup. Half the truck, half the motor, 20% increase in fuel mileage (WHAT???? That's it?????)

Hate it, but it's still a free vehicle.

Lemmee guess, rt. 44 in Putnam? I work for company that owns the mix plant off of exit 94. That's not our job though - that cluster is all American Industries.

Bingo! Had the office shaking for a good couple of hours today as the vibrating roller/compactor kept on going by The general issue was that the majority of folks were running a solid 10 to 15 minutes late all day from the traffic delays

Getting ready for a powder day tomorrow at Cannon.

Just packed the skis into the box and set up the interior for campin. Plan to get up early, pack the rest of my crap/provisions and hit the road before noon. Anyone wanna share ride/gas along PA/NJ up thru 84/91 corridor, PM me. I'll check messages/emails before I hit the road.

Have fun Moe!

I'm off to a sluggish start this morning. Need to get dressed and into the office!

Stressing...

GF was on her way to school this morning and got rear ended AGAIN...

Thankfully, she's OK...

This is probably the fourth time it's happened to her in the five years we've been together.

Last time was in my car last summer.

Thankfully, the person who hit her actually stopped this time instead of taking off.

Not sure how bad it is yet... But when she called me right after it happened she wasn't sure if the car was drivable or not...

ugh.

Yikes! Glad she is okay--cars can always be replaced. Hope the damage isn't too bad!

Just got off the phone with the gas company. I had a $120 gas bill. I have a photo of my furnace from March 18th sitting in the garage. They do remote meter reading but sent me an estimated bill even though my gas usage was zero. They had the meter data when I called. Monopolies suck.

In other news.....

It's sunny. I have snow on the ground and there is a good foot of fresh up on the hill. The lift isn't spinning. I have too much on my plate today to burn the time hiking or make the drive up to Jay Peak.

I got a call from my boss last night. I'm now covering the technical side of business development in Europe as one of my hats. I used to do that in the 2nd half of the 1990's. It's fun for a year or two.

So we shouldn't say congratulations?

I'm sitting at my PC with a huge smile because it's a gorgeous day, I went to the gym this morning and my knees aren't killing me, they now have new satelite TV service and VH-1 is back...life is good!

Update: I think the car is done... The labor to pull the sheet metal off is probably more than the car is worth...

I asked what hit her... the response was "Big Chevy Truck"... It certainly looks like it.

I'm glad she's OK. Looks like a decent impact.

Bummer! Glad she's okay though.

Looks like a good chance that there's structural damage, I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company totaled it.

Agreed on all counts...

Even without structural damage, the labor to pull all that sheet metal off the car is likely approaching the book value of the car.

On the bright side; at least she wasn't driving your Audi this time.

 

[Geoff]

A little compound and that will buff right out.

Hoping that Jay Peak is all mush.......

Sucky man. Glad to hear she's ok. I'd freak right the fark out if I heard Mer was in an accident.
